Iphone 4S Imessage Lag.

Hello,
I do not have a lot of time, so if this been asked again I do apologise.
One of my questions was about sync/back up and restore but thanks to Allan, all is answered.
Question I have right now is, why 2-3 days into using my Iphone 4s (16gb, Vodafone, had it for nearly 2 weeks now) all of a sudden Siri stopped working - She kept saying something on the lines of sorry, this is unexpected, i cannot help you right now. I would try to send any messages they wouldnt go through and just get stuck on imessage and wouldnt allow me to send as SMS only copy option available - only few hours later, after a phone call, i got a massive push of messages, mainly from my partner who is also using Iphone 4s but on Orange.
Since than, everyday my iphone, if left in standby longer than 5 min, later collects all messages I get, and pushes them 30-60minutes later in one go. Or if i send a imessage, or make a phone call or use internet, only then i receive the messages. While i use messanging everything seems to be fine.. like Iphone4s antenna goes to sleep mode or something if I dont.
My iphones battery life is as bad as my 3gs was, which mean.. it just gets me from 12 to 20-00 with 30% left - although i am bit heavy on messaging with my
partner and her battery life isnt much better.
Frankly, I dont really care about battery as long as it can just about last a working day, I have plenty of chargers at home, charge overnight, and about to buy a charger in car - and i spend a lot of time in the car so battery is not my concern. What does annoy me is this silly message delay - this problem I never had whilst using my 3GS on the same 5.0.1 OS.
Can this be fixed somehow? I tried multiple restores. Only thing left to try is having phone restored to new - just need to write down notes, as some information very important.
Shall i give up and take it back to vodafone and ask for replacement, or take it to apple for diagnostics?
Please advise.
Kind regards
Igor

Also, I noticed the same lag with iMessages while I am on home wifi :/ so perhaps it's a hardware problem?

Also, I noticed that going to the settings section is disabled service "Find iPhone".
To get to the point tinctures "Messages" and "FaceTime" takes a few minutes.

I just bought an android phone and the previous owner of the number had an iphone and imessage wont work, how do I fix that?

I just bought an android phone and the previous owner of the number had an iphone and imessage wont work, how do I fix that?
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S4, and my wife has an iphone. We found out that imessage wont come through from her. After we went to the AT&T helpdesk they said that she could turn off imessage on her phone and that I would get texts on my S4. But then so would everyone else who has an iphone. That won't work for everyone in my company that has an iphone. So what I am wondering is- since I recently got this phone, should I get a new number? Or should I contact ATT or contact Apple to try and get this number de-activated? I'm thinking I'll never get into the icloud account that this number is attached to, but maybe someone has some advice on that?
I just sincerely want imessage to work on this phone and I'm willing to take the steps to do that.
Please help

Either one of the two should work - getting new number from carrier or contacting Apple to revoke phone number from imessage system.
That is if your problem is described correctly.

I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck.

I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes. Now it's dad and husband, every time! Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails.
And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered". So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point. I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions. (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck. I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

HT3529 How do I disconnect one iphone from another iphone's iMessage?

How do I disconnect one iphone from another iphone's iMessage?

He needs to get his own Apple ID.
Have him logout from your Apple ID at settings>>iCloud .
He should then set up his own Apple ID.

HT4528 My new iPhone has a lag time before it turns on? I need to make an appt with Tysons to get it repaired.

My new iphone has a lag time before it turns on. I think it may need to go into Tysons for support. Do you have any other options for me?

What exactly do you mean by lag time when tutned on? If you startup from a shutoff condition you have to hold the power button for a few seconds before the startup sequence begins...and then the apple logo will stay on-screen for a minute or so as it powers up.
If you are talking about waking from sleep, how long is this taking?
If you are concerned, by all means take it in for testing...but Apple does not repair iPhones, they replace them if defective.

KEYBOARD LAG: My iPhone's keyboard lags.

Especially when I am texting and entering information in Safari, my (Black 16GB 3G) iPhone's keyboard lags. Sometimes it misses a letter or it takes a couple seconds to do something. And usually all the sudden everything is erased or for example I get something like: apppppppppppppppppppple. It's a pain, but on some things, like entering contacts, it doesn't happen.
What should I do? Do I just have to live with it; is this something that every single iPhone has, or do I need a replacement. (And don't say I need to restore because I've already done that four times for different reasons, and this lag has been going on throughout.)

I'll be calling Apple tomorrow, and let you know what I hear.
As for low memory, that could mean RAM, which might mean you have a lot going on at once... I guess if some Apps run in the background. Most likely it just means you have many songs, videos, apps, etc. You can check how much space you have by clicking settings, general, about and look at what it says next to available. Also, after the iPhone is formatted, there is only 14.6 GB available.

I just downloaded IOS 5 on to my IPHONE 4. When i text people that also have Iphones for Imessage my name is my email. anyone know how to change it?

You have an Apple ID signed in to all the devices which is causing this.
"When you sign in to your Apple ID with iMessage using an iPhone with iOS 6, your Apple ID is linked to your phone number. This allows you to receive iMessages sent to your phone number on other iOS 6 devices signed in to the same Apple ID."
To correct this, go into Settings > Messages > Send and Recieve at > See below...
On your phone: Uncheck your son's phone number
On his phone: Uncheck your phone number.
On iPad: Uncheck both phone numbers to prevent iMessages sent to either number to also appear on the iPad.
If you have email addresses associated here, then you may have to remove those as well, although you won't be able to remove the Apple ID that you're using. Any iMessage sent to that Apple ID will arrive at all the device unless you sign out of that Apple ID and create/use another Apple ID for that device.

Am I the only one with iOS 8 iMessage lagging

I'm sure I'm not.
Every time I open my iMessage the keyboard slowly pulls up onto the screen. It started doing it since I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5S and now it's still on my iPhone 6+. It also seems to lag while I'm sending a text and I'm receiving a text at the same time. The new message coming in disappears down behind the keyboard. Small issue but it's starting to get annoying. I hope Apple fixes this bug with an update soon. iOS 8 in general seems to lag a lot more than iOS 7 so far. It's not just iMessage. My "Paper" Facebook app also went crazy after the iOS 8 install, I just deleted it because of that. It was updated for iOS 8 but didn't work.
Or is there a fix to this already?

No, same here. I notice the same as you describe, sometimes I think the message I'm sending disappeared, but in a couple seconds it sends and shows up. Plus, when in a message chain if I receive more messages (from the same person), my messages arrow in the top left will indicate that I have unread messages (example (2) ), I have to go back to the main message screen and back into the same chain I was just in to clear the (2)... strange since I already read those messages. Seems like a message syncing issue, worth reporting to Apple.

Why my iphone's iMessage and Facetime can't be activated?

hi, I just bought an iphone4 from the Mississauga apple store two days ago, the iMessage and Facetime can't be activated, so these things are what I tried: (my SIM card matches with my iphone, have a valid carrier, and I paid my bill and have a valid phone number)
1. I connected my iphone to the wifi, and make sure it works,
2. created an account on apple store, and make sure it has been logged on,
3. logged that e-mail account that I used to creat apple account on to my iphone ---> Mail,
4. go to Settings ---> iMessage, and turned it on, and did whatever it told me to do, then it just saying:"Waiting for activation..." for 2 or 3 hours, and told me that activation failed, and the same thing goes with the Facetime.
I tried with each of them 3 times, none of them are working, so I give up, and asked my friend use to working at the ginues bar in an apple store to help me, so:
He download iTunes onto my PC, connected my iphone to my PC, and logged my apple account onto iTunes, then did the PC and iphone thing which I don't really understand, and redo what I did above, and my iMessage and Facetime still can't work, and use he's iphone to call mine with facetime, use mine to call his with facetime, none of the calls worked.
At the end, we even dialed #*5005*7672# to check the SMS service centre number.
***BTW, I CANNOT even send text messages to my friends, I can only call them.
Is there anything else I can try to make the iMessage and facetime working? Or should I just go to the store and ask for an exchange or refund?
T_T, I just can't believe I can't even send out text messages with the iphone which even the unsmart phones can do.
Help me, plzzzzzz
Kate

Hey Bogdannae,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
You might need to user recovery mode since it is staying at the Apple logo.

Iphone 5 imessage only will send on wifi. Cellular sends as text.

In the past week, my iphone 5 will only send imessages when connected to wifi. When using cellular, all messages are sent as text (green). It is intermittent. Sometime it will work but mostly not. My carrier is Straight talk pre-paid and is run by TracFone Wireless. TWF. I have power cycled. My software is up to date for phone and carrier. Any thoughts? Many thanks.

Contact your carrier.

Why is my iPhone sending iMessages through my apple ID and not my phone number?

So this question is actually about my friends iPhone 4... She and I text on a daily basis and we use iMessages. As of two days ago, every time I sent her an iMessage, it would fail and I would have to send it as a text message. Well we finally figured out it was because her iMessages were turned off (probably by her 2 year old daughter.) So she turned them back on and she sent me an imessage. But when she sent the imessage and I received it, I received the message from her apple id, not her phone number which is what I normally receive her messages from. Her and I can't figure out how to change it back to her phone number.. Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.

Have your friend go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and make sure that her phone number is checked. She can also remove the checkmark by her Apple ID email if desired.

Iphone sending iMessage to all but one of my contacts, what's going on here?

So my friend and I can't seem to send iMessages between our Iphones. I have tried to delete their contact information and delete all the past conversations we have had and re-added them to my contact list. They can send me iMessages just fine. I should also note that I am the only one on their contact list that seems to have this issue. They are able to recieve iMessages from everyone else. When they were living in Australia we did not have any of this issues. However, since they have returned to Canada and set up their plan, suddenly I can only send them text messages. We do not have this issue with anyone one else on our contact lists, this is an issue that exhists only between our two phones. How can this issue be fixed?

Does anyone in the community know the answer to this ?
Alternatively - which email address should I direct this to to get an answer from Apple?
